Offer Up:
A several months ago, one of Joe's old college buddies announced that he had launched a new company called Offer Up. He was inspired by becoming a new parent and realizing all the stuff that comes along with kids. He learned quickly how fast they grew out of certain toys and clothes. So, Offer Up was born. It is a Craigslist-like site/app that he wanted to make more user friendly and safe. Each user has a profile so you are able to see the person who is selling the items. It is very easy to post items to sell, as well as browse through what is for sale. You are also able to see the area in which the seller is located. Items for sale are not just baby and kid related. You will find almost as much variety as you would on Craigslist. I have posted a few things on there to sell, but have not yet made a sale. I also, have not yet made a purchase from there. The easy to browse picture tiles and profile picture really appeal to me. Here is a look of what the app looks like.
Seeing that this is a new company, I am not sure if it is available nation wide yet. Something to keep your eye on.
Furnishly:
While flipping through my new FAVORITE magazine HGTV Magazine, I came across a great article about flipping furniture makeovers for profit. In the article the editors found a few cool pieces that they rehabbed and listed on three different sites to sell. Ebay, Etsy and a new one to me, Furnishly.com.
I quickly went to my computer to find out more about this new, possible obsession of mine. I found that is was similar to Offer Up and the Craigslist app, but is exclusive to furniture. I love anything with little picture tiles to make it easy to sift through. Like Craigslist and Offer Up, you search your area. Unfortunately, the word has not yet spread in my area, so there was not a lot of inventory. I will be checking back often and try listing items myself.
Happy Friday!!
